caddymanD’you know it’s not fair?
Here we are, in the Dog Days of summer and I am covered in insect bites and smeared with Anthisan to stop the itching. I have managed to get through the entire summer without the merest hint of an insect bite and now I seem to be the main course for at least one of the little blighters.
Somewhere in The Tower there is a mosquito (or similar) snuggled away in a dark corner, lying on its back clutching its belly and snoring contentedly. It must be the size of a small dog by now the amount of times it’s sunk its bloody fangs into me.
Well not for much longer, matey. Ho No.
On my way home tonight I am going to buy the biggest and most toxic can of Raid I can find, and I am going to empty it into the stairwell, bed and computer rooms. There will be no hiding from my vengeance.
It occurs to me that the damned insect must be wearing sneakers, because it must be too large to fly now, gorged as it is on my blood, yet I never hear it coming.
I must get a photo if at all possible…
